Southern Restaurants near Woodinville

“Ordered online for pick up. I was greeted quickly and with a smile. Although I was about 10 minutes early for my pick up time, the staff packaged my order and had me put the door within minutes. Food was delicious and my boys were also very happy!“

“This is my go-to lunch reward after a hike up north or northeast. I usually split a chicken tender family meal with whoever's with me and order a side or two if we're starving. Maybe because we come during off-peak hours, but I've never had to wait to be served.Anyway, the chicken is always tender and moist. The sauces on offer (which the gas station attendants happily throw in as much as we want) kick the flavor up a couple levels; my favorite is the sweet and sour sauce, because I love pepper and each container has chunks of what had been whole black peppercorns. The batter stays crispy even after some time in the fridge, although obviously it's best devoured once you get in the car. And I've never been to New Orleans, but the boudin bites and the red beans and rice are sure as heck good enough for me! (Almost forgot to add, the biscuits are delicious and superior to, say, Popeye's biscuits, which are already pretty darn good.)Now we come to the main reason for my review, which is that the station attendants are unfailingly nice and generous. I had hiked at the Bridal Veil Falls trail yesterday and came in for my fried chicken reward. I wasn't watching and would have never known, but the attendant told me that she had dropped a biscuit on the floor, and because she didn't have any other biscuits left, she gave us an extra chicken tender. So, shout-out to the Chevron employees who always make sure I get to end my tough hikes with delicious food!(Also also, the bathroom is immaculately clean, which again, kudos to the staff, always a lovely surprise at a gas station.)“

“Never eaten at Ezell’s and tried it for the first time. The kitchen, counter spaces and bathroom were clean and wiped down. The food came out hot and quickly. One staff was also eating the food on her lunch break which I liked - if staff eat where they work it shows me that they trust the preparation and it adds a level of safety for me! Another staff came out quickly to clear tables. I would come back if I’m in the neighborhood.The only downside was the soda machine was out of service.“

“Ezell's Famous Chicken in Bothell offers classic fried chicken that hits the spot. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, with a crispy, well-seasoned crust. They also have a good selection of sides, like mashed potatoes and mac and cheese.Overall, Ezell's is a good option for a casual meal of fried chicken and comfort food sides.“
